We are rich; simply because we have more than we need. The central idea of the message, however, is around what to do with this condition of privilege that all of us who are rich have.

A few days ago I was invited to give the first talk of the series: “How to be Rich” at the Openhouse Project. The invitation was made to me by Julio Gonzalez, its director and main communicator, so I could not but accept. Once the talk was uploaded to the Openhouse website, I couldn’t leave it there without publishing it here as well, it would have been like hiding it!

So not to take your time here, but to invite you to use it by listening to the first part of the series, here is the link, which if it makes you curious could mean half an hour of your life. That’s about it. The experience for me was new, and although I’m not sure I’ll repeat it, I hope it will be of value.

The second part of this series continues next Sunday, by Julio. It will be at the Meridiano Building (HSBC) at 10:55 AM. Admission is free and the experience is designed especially for those who do not like churches, and yet are curious, return, seek or begin to get closer to God.

I have tried for years and failed for just as many years. I needed a fresh approach, outside of religiosity and rituals, to focus more on relationship. The Openhouse is a transformative idea because it doesn’t try to convince anyone of anything, but to create environments conducive to the messages and whose experience is one that you will want to repeat.

In this video you can find the idea in a few minutes, but not before telling you that you are invited, you are invited and we invite you to invite.

Although it may seem counter-intuitive, maybe it’s about leaving religion.
